I just bought the same bike 2023 orange for 5,999.00 no dealer fees and the dealership paid the taxes. I did pay registration. So, I pick up the bike Tuesday the 19th. 2024 and will truck it home. One mile on the odometer. I just didn't feel like riding the bike five hundred miles home. Where I live there are hundreds of less explored roads and off roads waiting. Appreciate your videos.

Love to seeing the father and son thing! I just got an SCL I've had it for about 4 months and I have about 200 miles on it. I dont get to ride much, but your videos have been helpful! :) I'm still trying to get to know her, but it's getting better and better.

I'm going to enter the biking world eventually. One of the draws is ease of self maintenance. Cars have become too complicated. Motorcycles offer me the chance for self-service. I miss that aspect. especially. Especially since this model is easy and a favorite of mine.

Kinda pricey when a KPX250 china bike is $2900. I'd like a side by side comparison.. any KLX230's OR KLX300's near Annapolis, MD? The KPX has a gas gauge and I'll wager Mo Powa than the 230..
@dmac5916Ай бұрын
They don’t hold there value at all and most definitely won’t last nearly as long or be as refined. Japanese quality is top notch while china just makes cheap disposable crap, or replicas that are worse than the og no matter the product. I wouldn’t buy a it for $1500 let alone 2900 😂

I NEED HELP! I have ridden dual sport 2 stroke bikes for for 15 years and need help breaking out of the category! I started with a ke100, then ke175 now I own a couple dt175s one built and quite stout and I plan on keeping them. I live in a rural area and want a mid sized bike for longer travel and a bit more comfort without sacrificing the zesty spice from an engine. I was thinking zx4rr but the roads including main roads are rather tough in my area, I was thinking adv like a Himalayan but I’m concerned it won’t corner well on better maintained paved roads and isn’t powerful enough. The triumph speed 400 looks a tad small and I’m considered about reliability and power. This bike intrigues me but I don’t know if it will be zesty enough, your review showed that it will be just fine for normal everyday riding and the suspension seems adequate for my riding area as well as the legendary reliability that comes with a honda. This middle category is vast and has me lost, any input would be much appreciated!

I'm about to turn 78 and don't drive any more, had a 305 Scrambler in the 60s, and if I could drop 20 years I'd have this bike. My heart went out to it as soon as I saw it. I don't envy today's youth for much, but this.....

I appreciate your video a lot. I decided that I'm going to purchase this bike and it will be my first bike as well. Some of my friends that ride say that a 500 will be underpowered, and I will grow out of it quick. For the type of riding that I want to do, which is small town back roads and low speed highways. I think this is the perfect answer. I also like this style more than the standard cruiser or street bike.

I must have missed the oil change. I came from a KLR 650, which has numerous oil change videos actually showing changing the oil. On the kickstand? Bike level? Exactly how much oil to pour? Drain plug removal? To someone only talking about doing an oil change on my new bike, the SCL500? How quickly time flies when you are just showing what is needed and not actually doing anything. Sorry, but this video needs a title change.

When you loosen the bolt, the right plate is freely moving back and forth therefore the indicator marks are useless. How do you know what is your setting precisely?

I like the 6 gears & being air cooled.... Ohh, price as well but I'm afraid my intent for using it 80% on roads and no way around the use of the Interstate, I might need to see if the 300 can better serve my needs? I do like her. peace

I've got 10-11 dual sport bikes I'm researching & I mean all the MOD's -n- Costs on them, what benefits, and even the order I'd want to do them. Post purchase costs are hardly ever considered but I'm so poor that I'm doing all of this while I save. The KLX wasn't on my list early on but I've discovered for the price it's worthy of a good look so I'm here visiting you. What I've learned is that if you put all 11 bikes I've listed into a Draw & picked one out & it would be my choice ; I'd be fine with it. That said, any of the Japanese bikes would probably last a life time & the only needs would be tires, foot-pegs, and regular maintenance type stuff. The big bikes I'm looking at are the KLR650, DR650, Honda 650L, 500x, and 2 450's, DRz400 down/down to the Honda150L. They are all being looked at & top of my list is the DRz400, Honda Rally 300L. But I'd be happy w/ a Yamaha XT250 & I've got a good idea about all these, short comings, costs for most needed stuff. This KLX was a late entrant but I've kinda seen that most of these would do & I could make them work just fine due to so many great videos by numerous channels. The KLX has made it up to my 2nd choice list but the importance of what all I've done in researching all of these is I know most of what to look for wrong in each, along w/ most good mods and all this will help should I buy a used bike...... plus I've met alot of people. I've not ridden in over 30 yrs which is part of the reason I'm not against a smaller weight bike. But this KLX300 has caught my attention & it'll be early winter before I can afford much. Thanks for the video & I'll be looking at other vids you did. peace

I don't know why this is called a "beginner" motorcycle because it's all most people would ever need as a casual rider who wants a bike to kick around town and take on some dirt roads and across fields. Outside of the USA, this bike (meaning mostly in Asia) is not considered small and low power. But in the country of overkill on everything, it's considered a "beginner" bike.

I have a 22 SE just like it only blue instead of red version. Will roll over the 10,000 mile mark on the next ride. Mostly gravel roads and county blacktops. 55-60 all day long. 65 pretty well. 70 or above full throttle 95% of the time. I am 70 years old. 180# 6'2". Flat road 72 mph top speed. With tail wind or down hill rev limiter at 76 so 75 top speed for a smallish person. Great, easy to ride bike. I also have a Honda CRF450RL that I also love. But I ride the 230 twice as much. Rides easy as falling off a log. Get a Seat Concepts seat.
